As soon as the clock struck midnight, the internet was slowed to a crawl as fans everywhere all tried to do exactly the same thing at the same time. We are of course talking about Spider-Man: No Way Home tickets going on sale, and it's causing the mix of panic, fear, unease, uncertainty and joyous celebration that comes with the luck of the draw.
As one of the most heavily hyped blockbusters in recent memory, Spider-Man: No Way Home was always going to crash the internet from the second tickets went on sale. In that regard, nobody's surprised by what we're seeing on social media, but two distinct camps are being formed.
The internet is gripped in an uneasy sense of excitement and panic now that tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home have gone on sale, with virtually every website operated by a major theater chain having crashed under the weight of demand.
Based on that headline alone, if you're one of the many fans who vociferously rejected Netflix's live-action Cowboy Bebop, then you're probably already of the opinion that the crew member in question has failed before you even find out their identity.
Well, we all knew this was going to happen. So much hype has built around Spider-Man: No Way Home that even something as straightforward as buying a ticket to see the movie on opening day was never going to be easy, especially when Sony announced an entire Spider-Monday full of festivities.
